[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good nannies are 1 in 100 in my experience. So, they're out there and a good nanny is better than the best daycare, but in reality most nannies are bad. So, I think a good daycare trumps a mediocre nanny. And it's impossible to know if a nanny will be good until you're a few months in. Trust me, they're all great on the interview.

Personally I like the reliability, structure and accountability of daycare. I hate employing someone and having to deal with that.

Not my experience at all.  We’ve had the same nanny for nearly three years and she’s amazing.  She’s also never once been late and never once called in sick (she took a planned sick day after her second covid shot).  All my friends with nannies love them.  My boss has had the same loving nanny for five years and my BFF for almost 7 years.  DS’s two best buddies have had the same nannies since birth too.

Three different nannies in 18 months?  You either got incredibly unlucky or were underpaying, PP.  [/quote]
